W6D2 in the bag! My last run with a break in it.

To those wondering if I used Strava today, I did, and it failed spectacularly. Apparently my little 5 year old S4 can't handle running the C25K app, Strava, Amazon Music, and the background Samsung Health tracker at the same time and crashed at least three times during my run.
Here's my first (and at least until I either get a new phone to graduate C25K and no longer use that app, last) run in Stava.

lol, interesting route it's tracked there! ;)
Seriously, great work mate. I love that you look so happy after every run. :)

I ditched the app in week 7 once the intervals ended and just used Strava. It tells me every 500m where I'm up to so it was easy to know when I'd run 3.5, 4 or 4.5km

I was so frustrated with apps and bullshit on my Phone so i get a multisport watch. Highly recommend! GPS tracking, sync to strava etc. So much fun and motivation

Also, expensive. I'm a college student and the only reason I have the S4 is because my step-mom got an S7 (or was it an S8, not sure) and didn't need the S4.

If you don’t mind the color purple, I’ll send you my garmin forerunner watch that works great. I intended to sell it a few years back and never did when I bought a newer model. It’s all yours if you want it. DM me.

If you want to look towards a phone upgrade, check out swappa.com. I've gotten 2 off there and have no complaints.
They are sometimes more affordable than buying on contract.

Keep up the great work. You’re inspiring, brother.

I have a S4 too. Tomorrow I am going to do week 5 day 1. I'll tryto put Amazon Music in background with c25k (Zen Labs). The 5 five minutes segments seems everlasting, but I feared interferences between apps.
Thanks!

Fantastic, seriously, well done. It's great to get those distracting breaks out the way so you can concentrate on your running ;-) ? Good luck!

Congrats!!! I just did W6D3 yesterday, and it’s weird knowing I have no more runs with breaks left. You’ve got this! Looking forward to seeing your next post.

You are killing it brutha, every step forward is a step closer!!

Given that I've taken two weeks off due to holidays and heat (and have fallen back a few sessions), you are officially ahead of me now.
Congratulations dude! Keep it up!

Man! You're an inspiration. We love you. Please keep going.

You’re looking incredible!! I love watching your journey.

Hot damn, keep crushing it! Do you have any plans to run a 5K?

Just for kicks, I went back in your history and looked at you when you started. You've clearly lost a bunch of weight, which is awesome!
I did the same, so impressed with the commitment and enthusiasm! I love that the glasses came off at some point, more confidence!
I was coming to say the same thing!!!
